Posted on October 26, 2022 By

The following gastrointestinal drug classes and medications: IBS with diarrhea (alosetron), IBS with constipation (lubiprostone), gastrointestinal anti-inflammatory (sulfasalazine), and pancreatic enzymes (pancrelipase).

Hi, i’m cathy with level up rn. in this video, i’m  going to wrap up my coverage of gastrointestinal   gastrointestinal anti-inflammatory medications,   the video, i’m going to provide you guys   of the facts i’ll be covering in this video,   so definitely stay tuned for that. if you have  our pharmacology, second edition

Flashcards,   follow along. i won’t be covering every   single medication or fact in these flashcards,  but i’ll definitely try to hit the highlights.   syndrome medications or ibs medications.   one ibs medication to know is alosetron.  alosetron is used for ibs with diarrhea,   and it works by increasing the

Firmness of the  stool and decreasing the sense of urgency to   defecate. the key side effect with this medication  is constipation. and in fact, this medication has   a black-box warning due to the complications of  constipation and the risk for ischemic colitis.   lubiprostone is used for ibs with constipation.  

So it works by increasing fluid secretion in the  intestine and increasing intestinal motility.   side effects can include diarrhea, nausea, and  headache. so the way i remember these medications   and our little cool chicken hint here on the card  is that alosetron, which is spelled a-l-o-s-e   ends in that stone is for

Stone-like poop,   next, we have sulfasalazine, which is a gi  anti-inflammatory medication. it can be used   to treat irritable bowel syndrome. it can also  be used to treat irritable bowel diseases such   as crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. it  works by inhibiting prostaglandins synthesis,   which helps to

Decrease inflammation in the colon.  side effects can include blood dyscracias. so this   includes anemia as well as agranulocytosis. so  agranulocytosis is where we have a decrease in   the number of granulocyte, which are a type of  white blood cell. other side effects can include   gi upset, rash, headache, crystal urea, and

Fever.  so some important patient teaching we want to do   medication may cause orange-yellow discoloration   of their urine and or skin. also, we’re going to  want to monitor their cbc levels during therapy   including pancrelipase. pancrelipase  insufficiency due to a disorder such as cystic  fibrosis or pancreatitis, or

If they’ve had gi   bypass surgery. so the pancreas plays an important  role in digestion, right? it brings digestive   enzymes into the intestine. so if our pancreas  isn’t working well, then our intestines are not   getting those digestive enzymes. so this is where  this medication comes in. it is there to help with  

Digestion of fat, carbohydrates, and protein.  so side effects of this medication can include   diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. we want to  provide teaching for our patients because they   need to take this medication immediately before  or with their meals and snacks to allow for that   our patients to swallow the pills

Whole,   difficulty swallowing the pills, you can open   apple sauce, and they can take it that way.   so our cool chicken hint for remembering this  medication. if you look at the medication name, it   is pancrelipase, and it starts with that pancre,  which helps you to remember the pancreas, and that   this

Medication is used when the pancreas isn’t  getting its job done right. all right, so that is   it for our gi medications, and are you guys ready  for your quiz? i have three questions for you.  the risk for constipation and ischemic colitis?   used to improve digestion in  patients with cystic fibrosis?   answer is should

Be taken immediately before  or with meals and snacks. okay. i hope this   these little quizzes at the end of the video.   i invite you to subscribe to our channel  and share a link with your classmates and   friends in nursing school. if you found value  in this video, be sure and hit the like button,   what you found particularly helpful.
